PFLP Kills Soldier in Camp that ISM Idiots Filmed Themselves 'Protecting'
Remember this astounding video of a bunch of "internationals" protecting the innocent people of the Ein Beit Al Ma 'refugee camp' in Shchem (Nablus) from the depredations of the evil IDF?
The sodlier was later identified as Staff Sergeant Ben-Zion Haim Henman, 21, of Moshav Nov in the Galilee.
The IDF operation was launched in response to several intelligence warnings, regarding intended terror attacks on Israelis during the Jewish holidays. During the night, the military ordered a closure of the refugee camp.
Since then, Palestinian gunmen fired on the soldiers in at least 10 separate incidents, leading to repeated gun battles between the two sides. It was during one of these clashes that the soldier was killed and his comrade wounded from shrapnel.
Also during the night, an explosive device was thrown at soldiers, but no one was injured...
...The operation Tuesday was targeting Hamas and PFLP members in the refugee camp, whom the IDF says are working jointly in order to plan terror attacks. Due to the increased terror warnings, forces have raided the camp the past several nights in order to arrest wanted terror operatives. At such times, armed clashes often take place.
Of course, when the ISM hinders the activities of the IDF and helps the terror groups the IDF is trying to stop, they consider themselves non-violent -- merely because they themselves aren't personally committing the violence (usually).
